بسم هللا الرحمن الرحیم نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم وعلی عبدہ المسیح الموعود

The Holy Qur’an

بسم الله الرحمـن الرحيم

Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and

the Seal of the Prophets; and Allah has full knowledge of

all things. [33:41]

Abu Saeed Khudri ra narrates: “The Holy Prophet (pbuh) used to feed the camels

himself, he would perform household chores, mend shoes, darn clothes, milk goats, and eat in the

company of servants. If a servant became tired while grinding flour, he would help him at this. He would

not feel belittled carrying household goods from the market to the house. He would shake hands with the rich and the poor alike. He would always be the first to extend greetings. He would not disdain accepting

an invitation-not even so small an invitation as to join in eating dates. He would relieve those who toiled. He

was mild-tempered and kind-hearted. His conduct was excellent and he was always cheerful. He would

smile but would not laugh loudly; he would not frown even when vexed. He was humble, but not lowly;

generous, but not extravagant. He was tender-hearted and merciful to all Muslims alike. He

would never eat his fill to the point where one is likely to start yawning. He would never extend his hand

motivated by greed.” (Mishkaat)

Hadith

“I have been made to understand that of all the Messengers, the one who brought the perfect and purest of teachings full of wisdom, and one who exhibited in him

the noblest of human qualities, is the Holy Prophet Muhammad, our lord and master, may peace and

blessings of Allah be upon him.” (Roohani Khazain, Vol 17 Pg 345, Arba’een 1)

Let’s remember our pledge...

Obey the Holy Prophet (pbuh) and try to become his alike. To be a Muslim is not a child’s play. It requires complete submission in every thing to the Holy Prophet (pbuh). Do not take it cursorily. It is matter worth deep consideration. Do not feel complacent until you obey the Holy Prophet completely. If you call yourself a Muslim without doing so, you have only a shell without the kernel. A wise man will not be happy with a shell only nor on bearing an empty name. In old times a Muslim in name tried to convert a Jew to Islam. The latter chided him for rejoicing on outward from devoid of inner reality. He said: “What is there in a name? I named my son Khalid, after the name of the famous Muslim conqueror who lived long and won brilliant victories for Islam. But before it was evening I had to bury my child.” So do not be happy with mere names. Seek instead the inner reality. What a shame! You profess to follow the Holy Prophet (pbuh), the greatest of all Prophets, yet you live like kafirs. So live your life like the Holy Prophet and frame your mind like him. If you do not do so, you are following Satan.

(Al-Hakam, January 24, 1901)

Our Perfect Leader

That leader of ours,

From whom radiates all light,

His name is Muhammad.

He is the one,

Who has captivated my heart.

All prophets are holy,

One better that the other.

From God on high he is,

The crown of all creatures.

Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as), vigorously

asserts: “The accusation levelled against me and

my community that we do not believe The Holy

Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be on him,

to be Khatam-un-Nabiyyin is a colossal lie. The

force, the certainty, the passion and the solid

conviction with which we believe him to be

Khatamul Anbiya is so strong and overwhelming

and of such excellence that it is a million times

stronger than the belief of our accusers.”

(The Promised Messiah, Al-Hakam, 17.3.1905)

The life of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) was a life

of grand success. In his high moral

qualities, his spiritual power, his high

resolve, the excellence and perfection of his

teaching, his perfect example and the

acceptance of his prayers, in short, in every

aspect of his life, he exhibited such bright

signs that even a person of low intelligence,

provided he is not inspired by unreasonable

rancour and enmity, is forced to confess that

he was a perfect example of the manifestation

of Divine qualities and was a perfect man.

The Holy Prophet (pbuh)

Halloween comes from the former “All

Hallows Eve”, in which Hallows means “to

make holy or sacred, to sanctify or

consecrate, to venerate”.

The ancient Pagans believed that the

dead could walk amongst the living on

the evening of October 31st.

Later, the Catholic Church tried to

bring the Pagans into Christianity, of-

fering to include Pagan ceremonies as

part of their celebration, despite the

fact that the Bible would go against

Samhain as in clearly states that the

dead “are conscious of nothing at

all”.

Why we don’t celebrate

In Islam, we are taught not to believe in

superstitions.

Our beloved Holy Prophet (pbuh) says “whoever

blows on knots and practices magic, is a Mushrik.”

Our beloved fifth Khalifa (atba) said “It’s an

awfully in-vain celebration! Jama’at and its

auxiliary organizations may want to strive to

withstand such practices.”

[17:79]Observe Prayer from the declining and paling of the sun

till the darkness of the night, and recite the Qur’ān at dawn. Verily, the recitation of the Qur’ān at dawn is especially

acceptable to Allāh.

BULLETIN

Foreward

This is a time when the darkness of

materialism has overspread the entire

face of the earth and obscured people’s

vision. Many there are who profess faith

but are deprived of its true sweetness

and strength. They are unaware of the

One Living, Omnipresent God. For the

benefit of seekers after truth, therefore,

I present an abridged version of the

teaching of the Holy Founder of the

Ahmadiyya Movement as laid down in

his book Kashti-Nuh which he wrote to

save men from the current deluge of

irreligion and materialism.

This book was intended mainly for the

members of the Ahmadiyya Community

but Muslims in general have also been

addressed in it. The book is a torch of

guidance through which every Muslim,

May every man with a craving for truth

and spirituality can rekindle his inner

lamp and illuminate his heart. The

present abridgement is an English

rendering of that Founder’s own sacred

words and, therefore, is replete with all

the blessings that descend from heaven

on the heart of a holy person. Readout

and be blest.

What is influenza?: (Flu) is an in-

fection of the nose, throat and lungs. It

Symptoms: high fever, cough, and

muscles aches. Other symptoms can
